At the hospital, Frankie tells Jake that Brot is alive - and in Pine Valley. He says he told Brot to come clean with Taylor or he would tell her the truth. Just then, Taylor comes up and asks if they are talking about her. Jake says they were just talking about her physical therapy but she doesn't buy it. They hurry away and Jake asks what happened. Frankie says he doesn't have all of the details but somehow Brot survived but was badly injured. "He says he is a different man now," Frankie says but admits that Brot is probably still in love with her. Jake says they have to tell Taylor even though he doesn't want to do that. Frankie slowly walks to Taylor's room. She finishes her therapy as he beats around the bush. Taylor tells him to spit it out. "He didn't want you to know," Frankie says, "Brot is here." Taylor says he is horrible for making Brot into a joke. Frankie says this isn't a joke or a motivating factor. "You're a liar," she says. Frankie says he doesn't know how it happened but Brot survived and took on a different identity. He says he saw Brot himself, shocking her even more. Taylor asks Frankie to see him.
At the boathouse, Brot is packed up and ordering Colby around, hoping to get out of town before Frankie talks to Taylor. Colby asks why he waited until the last minute to leave. She says he has to see Taylor first and Brot turns away. Jake arrives! Colby slips away as Jake tells Brot that he shouldn't have faked his death. He says Taylor deserved more; Brot says Taylor has moved on and it doesn't matter. Jake insists that Taylor hasn't moved on at all but Brot doesn't believe him so Jake tells him about Taylor's strong need to get back to the war zone even though she was still hurt. Brot turns away but Jake stops him, saying that if he leaves - again - it will kill any hope Taylor has for a future. "I don't want her anymore," Brot says but Jake doesn't believe him. He asks what Brot is hiding; Brot says he still loves Taylor. Just then Frankie arrives with Taylor!
